Wow, yeah, 15 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: it's IT'S A it's a difficult series to to costume 16 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: many of the characters because a lot of them are 17 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: like really sci fi fantasy based with and it's very 18 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: cartoony too. So you're like, how would I physically construct 19 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: that in real life? It would not support the weight 20 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: of itself. Uh, but but absolutely, like my friends and 21 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: I have talked about costuming from that series and it 22 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: seems like a lot.

Eased on your food preferences 30 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: and according to that, I am Paradot, which I think 31 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: is my birth stone. It did make me feel kind 32 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: of basic, or may be simple, uh, in my preferences, 33 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: but a lot of the choices were fairly basically.

Despite the 81 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: world and the people in it being less than perfect. Uh, 82 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: it's about it's about working on it, you know, Um, 83 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: and and it's like it's like having a rollicking good 84 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: time going to therapy. Yeah, yeah, pretty heavy stuff there is. 85 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: There is like within this like hypothetically children's show for children, 86 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: like there's a lot of stuff that made me look 87 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: at myself and kind of cry about it. So then, 88 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: so cool, good times. Highly recommend Um. This all started, 89 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: or started airing in as an animated TV series on 90 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: cartoon network, aimed primarily at kids and or young adults, 91 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: with each episode running about eleven minutes. It ran for 92 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: five seasons with a total of a hundred and sixty 93 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: two episodes. Hundred Sixty, hundred sixty two, something right around there. Um, yeah, 94 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: ran through early there's also a feature length film that 95 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: premiered later in Twenty nineteen, mostly on TV. There was 96 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: some limited theater appearances as well, uh, and an epilogue 97 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: series called Stephen Universe Future, which ran for twenty episodes 98 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: in late nine and early uh. They've also been a 99 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: number of like kids books and Trivia and art books, comics, 100 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: video games and soundtracks, because the show does have a 101 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: strong musical element. Oh yeah, I have the I have 102 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: the theme song in my head right now. Uh. The 103 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: show was created by Rebecca Sugar, who is a writer 104 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: and cartoonist and composer and performer. They cut their teeth 105 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: on adventure time with cartoon network early in that series production, 106 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: like two thousand nine ish. You can see our whole 107 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: episode on adventure time for more about that. And then, yeah, 108 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: she pitched Stephen H Rebecca sugar came out as non 109 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: binary after the series aired, by the way, when, when 110 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: it premiered, she was the first woman to helm a 111 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: series Solo for cartoon network. Now she's the first non 112 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: binary person. Uses she they pronounced, which is why I 113 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: am using both. Anyway. The series kicks off with the basic, 114 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: basic and scared quotes setup of this eighteen year old boy, Stephen, 115 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: who lives with his guardians, who are these three gemstone 116 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: based anthropomorphic aliens called the crystal gems, and they are 117 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: on earth to fight evil and help Stephen Learn how 118 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: to control his gem based powers. Stephen's Human Dad, Greg Universe, 119 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: lives mostly in a van and is also involved in 120 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: Steven's daily life. Stephen's mother was also a crystal gem 121 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: and she isn't like technically around anymore. Shades of her 122 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: kind of live on in Stephen's gem, but she basically 123 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: died giving birth to him in a complicated way. It's 124 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: an it's an unconventional family unit. Yes, yeah, and this 125 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: is ostensibly a food show. Gems don't have to eat, 126 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: though they can, but certainly the human characters and Stephen 127 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: do have to eat. And food is just a hyper 128 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: integral part of the series because the as the series 129 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: is meant to be personal and relatable, and it can 130 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: be very slice of life like episode to episode, despite 131 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: the fact that there are all these like weird epic 132 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: action sequences and bizarre monsters and like they go to 133 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: other planets and or dimensions. Sometimes the food is both 134 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: a grounding element and like a way of showcasing how 135 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: weird this fictional universe can get. Um like, on the 136 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: one hand, the show's opening sequence features greg setting up 137 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: a beach side cookout. The title card in the first 138 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: season has stephen eating a hot dog. On the other hand, 139 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: within the first handful of episodes, like you get this 140 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: French fry costume that comes to life like a Golem. 141 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: It's partially made of French fries and it forces people 142 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: to eat French fries. UH, they have to, they have 143 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: to like take it down and it like profusely bleeds. 144 00:09:54,679 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: Catch up anyone who hasn't seen this show. I'm just 145 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: so happy for you right now. Yeah, confusion. The series 146 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: is mostly set in a small fictional town called beach city. Um, 147 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: it has shades of like northeastern oceanside boardwalk towns. Uh. 148 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: It has like an amusement park and several little restaurants, 149 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: including a big donut, which is a pastry and coffee 150 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: and snack shop, beach citywalk fries, which specializes in French fries, 151 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: fish stew, pizza, which is a pizza parlor that has 152 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: fish options, extra fishy options. Sure, yeah, Um, and the 153 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: crab shack, which is a slightly more upscale restaurant, definitely 154 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: serves breadsticks. Don't don't know whether they're unlimited. Oh, yeah, 155 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: probably not if it's upscale. You know, you know, uh, 156 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: a lot of the a lot of the recurring characters 157 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: who become very close ends with Stephen and his cohortum 158 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: throughout the series, work in these shops and are shown 159 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: producing some of this food and, you know, right like it. Like. 160 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: It is a series about the human experience. Um and 161 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: so throughout food is UH is, a is, a fuel 162 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: and assustenance. It's also a pleasure and a comfort. It's 163 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: also a social tool and a sharing of oneself and 164 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: one's culture. It's also a livelihood and an economy and 165 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: like a way to to find purpose or to put 166 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: purpose in your life. Um and it's also part of 167 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: a greater ecology that we all live in. And that 168 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: gets really funny because, like a lot of the characters 169 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: are gems. They are not from Earth, they don't have 170 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: to eat. So so you also get this outsider perspective 171 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: of how food works and and of how people's humans 172 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: relations chips with food work. Um. Just, for example, those 173 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: three main gems who are Steven's guardians, Amethyst, pearl and Garnet. 174 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: You could, you can make the argument that their characters 175 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: are tropes of the ID, the Super Ego and the EGO. 176 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: So amethyst, being the ID, will and does eat anything 177 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: and everything and has these like hungry moments and like 178 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: devour sentient pizza and, you know, like eats literal garbage, 179 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Uh Pearl, the Super Ego, despises consuming food. 180 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: She thinks the whole process of digestion is the most 181 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: disgusting thing she can possibly think of. Um. And Garnet 182 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: as the ego is like, you know, like she will eat, 183 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: she's willing to eat, but like doesn't really have a 184 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 1: strong emotion about it, doesn't really overdo it. Mostly does 185 00:12:53,880 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: it as like a kind of social, uh, social placation. H. Yeah, 186 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: uh so. Yeah, there's like there's like infinite stuff to 187 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: unpack there. Um about about the series, though? Like adventure time, 188 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: it was storyboard driven, which means that the artists were 189 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: also the writers, which you can really see in like 190 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: the tight collaboration among the visuals and the dialogue and 191 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: the music to all tell the story together. Yeah, uh. 192 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: Rebecca sugar has talked about the show becoming an increasingly 193 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: personal project. Um over the course of its life, about 194 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: about self discovery and growth, really heavily influenced by everything 195 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: that she went through. She was she was twenty three 196 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: years old when she pitched this series Um that she 197 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: then produced. That then got really big and a really 198 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: short period of time, and she also started therapy and 199 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: she also came out as bisexual and then as non binary. Um. 200 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: She has a little brother named Stephen. She also talks about, 201 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: you know, trying trying to take the constrictive tropes that 202 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: she grew up seeing in kids media and in animation, 203 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: like like Disney animation in particular, and trying to question 204 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: them or or invert them. Ah, interestingly to me, the 205 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: voice actor who plays Stephen was only a couple of 206 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: years older than the character when the series started, like 207 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: maybe fifteen or sixteen, and so the show really uh, 208 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: let's the character and the actor and the audience all 209 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: sort of grow up together. Yeah, yeah, Um, one of 210 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: my best friends younger brothers, he told me that fact. Um, 211 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: and he writes uh, Stephen Universe fan fiction, which I 212 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: find incredibly adorable and also, I saver would have guessed. 213 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: He's just not the type, and so I love that. 214 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: I love that the show is kind of about like 215 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: not judging, are assuming based on type or like questioning stereotypes. 216 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: And when he told me that, I was like, Oh, 217 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: that makes me so happy, that makes happy. Yeah, goodness. Well, uh, 218 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: what about the news dream?

It has of one percent critic rating on 229 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: rotten tomatoes. Yes, it does, which makes me so happy. 230 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: It's been nominated for about thirty six awards across the 231 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: industry as an overall series and also in various categories 232 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: for its art and sound and vocals.

Um, user love takes work, created every 242 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: recipe from the show and it's excellent. Oh, it's so good. Okay, like, like, 243 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't double check, but I counted. Uh, 244 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: I counted through a real quick and counted seventy nine recipes. Um. 245 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: And yes, this is a fabulously fun project with a 246 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: really hilarious list of caveats, Um, including like, okay, I'm 247 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: not going to do recipes about, about stuff if it's 248 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: only mentioned and not pictured. I'm not going to do 249 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: recipes if it's pictured in the background and not featured. 250 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do recipes if it's like a 251 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: non food item that some monster eats or amethyst eats 252 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: because it's furniture. Uh, not putting together recipes for those seventy, 253 00:17:54,359 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: seventy nine recipes, which is, I think, conservative, extremely conservative. Yeah, Oh, yeah, because, yeah, 254 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: going through, we do have a list of some of 255 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: the big food and drink items in here and we 256 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: had to limit we had to limit ourselves. Yeah, it 257 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: could have gone on a lot longer, and it's they're 258 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: like people are eating and I cannot remember an episode 259 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: where food doesn't come up in some way. MM HMMM. 260 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: So we're going to get into some of those examples, 261 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: but first we're going to take a quickbreak for a 262 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: word Ormor, sponsor, and we're back. Thank you, sponsor. Yes, 263 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: thank you so. Yes, like with many things we talked 264 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: about in these fictional food segments episodes, um, many of 265 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 1: these foods and drinks are our variations of them exist 266 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 1: in our real world. So you can tell, like, what 267 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: the inspiration was, what the idea was behind said food 268 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: or drink item. A lot of the branded objects in 269 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: the show in particular have similar packaging to a real 270 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: world product, like a generic margarine in a yellow tub. Yeah, yeah, 271 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: lots of lots of examples of that in there. Yes, 272 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: for example, one of my favorites is something called beast, 273 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: which is a can. It's a brand of canned beverage 274 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: similar in appearance to monster energy drinks. Uh. And then 275 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: one of my favorites chops, chops, exit chops. It's got 276 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: a lot of a's in it, everybody. Um, this is 277 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,719 Speaker 1: a brand of potato chips debuted in the episode Monster 278 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: Buddies when Steven feeds them to neph right, and I'm 279 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: not going to explain any of this again. I love 280 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: the idea of people just listening confused. Yeah, let's just 281 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: just go with that. Anytime, anytime that you hear the 282 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: name of a rock, you're talking about some kind of 283 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: Uh Anima, like like Uh sentient creature. Yeah, and you're 284 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: just gonna have to watch the show to learn anything 285 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: else than that. Yeah, yeah, but yes, uh, Stephen later 286 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: uses these chips in a later episode to Jog Nif 287 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: writes memory of him. Remember when I fed you those 288 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: potato Um, they do have a couple of flavors, like 289 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: a maximum B B Q and cheese with a Z. 290 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: and yeah, they are featured in several episodes, many, many episodes, 291 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: especially in the background. Yes, and then there are cheese balls, 292 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: which is a brand of cheese puffs sold in canisters. 293 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: That they also pop up in a lot of episodes, 294 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,719 Speaker 1: including fusion cuisine, which is one of those episodes as 295 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: a lot to do with food. Um, when Steven uses 296 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: them to decorate a cake, which is also a recurring 297 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: theme of like salty snacks on sweet items, which I 298 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: read like a couple of people were like, yeah, I'm 299 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: very similar to a child's palate, but I was kind 300 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: of like yes, but let's be real, a lot was 301 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: do that and enjoyed that as adults?

Breakfast, and this was the name of the 307 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: fourth episode of Season One, so very early on, and 308 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: was also the name of a breakfast that Stephen Attempts 309 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: to make to share with everybody. And here's a quote 310 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: I wanted to include to the voices, but Oh, that's 311 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: all right, cool. So this is Stephen.

Garnet perfect. Check it out. It's not 317 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: exactly healthy, but it's in a stack, so I guess 318 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: you could say it's a balanced breakfast, you know, like 319 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: I made it all breakfast. I thought we could eat 320 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: together like like best buds. Then Garnet says, I can't today. 321 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: There's business to attend to inside the tempole. The whole 322 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 1: episode is just him trying to get them all together 323 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: to eat this breakfast. Yeah, yeah, it's cute. Um. So 324 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: this also shows up in a handful of other episodes 325 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: and serves as Garnet's wedding cake, which is honorable. Um, and, 326 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: and there's a strawberry on top in the regular one, 327 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: but in this episode it's replaced by these like little 328 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: figurines of Ruby and Sapphire, where the two getting married, yeah, 329 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: or refusing, as the case maybe. Yeah, yes, yes, so, 330 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: based on the image from this episode and Fan Created Recipes, 331 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: what Stephen makes is essentially a stack of waffles or pancakes? No, 332 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: it's it's definitely waffles. Yeah, okay, some of the recipes 333 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: had had pancakes, but that might be a preference thing. 334 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: So okay, waffles smothered in chocolate sauce or maybe maple syrup. 335 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: It looked like chocolate Saus to me, but everybody seemed 336 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: to agree with Maple Syrup. So all right, topped with 337 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: a healthy swirl of whipped cream, topped with a strawberry 338 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: and finished with popcorn. Begin with the salty sweet kind 339 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: of time. I mean sounds good. Oh goodness. Oh yeah, 340 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: one bite, though, I think I'd be done, but it 341 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: would be delicious. Also, continuing along with traditionally breakfast items, 342 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: there is the Bagel Sandwich, first seen in the episode 343 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: cheeseburger backpack, obviously, Um, and it pops up in a 344 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: few episodes after that as well. It appears to be 345 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: a sunny side up fried egg, a slice of cheese 346 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: and Turkey Bacon, or perhaps salmon, or perhaps Canadian Bacon. Okay, yeah, 347 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: sandwich between a split Bagel. Oh, yeah, yeah, and binging 348 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: with Babish. Uh. Did did a recipe for this one? Um, 349 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: you can. You can look that up if you'd like to. Uh, 350 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: speaking of breakfast foods, there, okay, there's a TV series 351 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: within the series Um called crying breakfast friends, and these 352 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: are like semi anthropomorphic breakfast foods that cry a lot, Um, 353 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: out of sadness and out of joy. Oh, I don't 354 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: remember that. That's great. Yeah, yeah, it's a show that 355 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,959 Speaker 1: Stephen is watching kind of a lot and like no 356 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: one else gets it, but but they're all willing to 357 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,120 Speaker 1: watch it with them, Um, and I think that actually 358 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: it's it's a metaphor for Stephen Universe itself. That makes sense. 359 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: That makes sense. Like why are they crying again anyway? Um, 360 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: there are. There are other fictional brands in there though, too, yes, 361 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: including Gua Cola Um, which is an avocado soda that 362 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 1: was handed out to attendees of a show by sour 363 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: cream djs. Uh, done by sour cream DJ in the 364 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: episode drop beat Dad, which is a great episode title. 365 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: Drop beat Dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's pretty funny. Um. 366 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: The packaging claims that it has the nutritional equivalent of 367 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 1: three Avocados and, like Avocados, it has a bit of 368 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: a mushy consistency, so almost everyone pours it out because 369 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: they think it's cross. It is later revealed to be 370 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: banned in seventeen state and facing at least a one lawsuit, 371 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: which I love. Oh Heck. MM HMMM. And then a 372 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: few random things. There's also drink up, which is like 373 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 1: seven up, and dirry and juice that comes in a 374 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: in a juice box. Frequently featured dry and juice Um. Also, 375 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: a tomato soup in a juice box shows up at 376 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: one point. MM HMMM. And then there's something called cookie cuts, yes, yes, yes, 377 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: so cookie cats are ice cream sandwiches in the shape 378 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: of a cat's head. Um. So it's two chocolate cookies 379 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: with hash strawberry and half vanilla ice cream sandwich between them. Um. 380 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 1: These first showed up in the episode Jim Glow and 381 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: are Stephen's favorite item at the big donut and yeah, 382 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: this is basically a donut based snack and drink store 383 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: that is frequented often. Um, but over the course of 384 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: that episode, these cook cats were being replaced by a 385 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: rival product line, liquors. Yeah, and this is, by the way, 386 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: the first episode. This is the drama, the drama of 387 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: Stephen Not Being able to get his beloved cookie cats, 388 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: is the first scene of the first episode. It's important. 389 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: This is where it starts, and cookie cats do keep 390 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: showing up throughout the series, either his food, so like 391 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: Steven's birthday cake is in the shape of a cookie cat, Um, 392 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: and one of the seasons, and he later makes his 393 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: own cookie cats for the gym's or in merchandise, like 394 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: his cookie cat shaped alarm clock, which I think he 395 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: has too. I think we see two different ones, and 396 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: also cookie cat shaped walkie talkies. Um. So, yes, their mascot, 397 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: cookie cat is on the pink pack Jing. It's pretty 398 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: eye catching. The packaging Um and the half and half 399 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: nature of the ice cream is reflected on cookie cats features. 400 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: So like the eye. One of his eyes is like White, 401 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: one is pink for the in the strawberry, you know. UH, yeah, 402 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: in one episode Stephen Dreams that cookie cat goes evil 403 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: and uses a spaceship to kill him. It sounds like 404 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: a dream, I would have to be honest. Dear Heck Um. So, 405 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: according to the Crystal Gym's they went around stealing a 406 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: bunch in this episode for him, for Stephen, but Pearl 407 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: admits that she went back and paid for all of 408 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: the cookie cans stolen. Um. However, Stephen eats all of 409 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: these cookie cats to get the energy to summon a 410 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: shield to save the gym's Um. So yeah, at the 411 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: beginning of the episode, eating a sandwich and singing the 412 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: themes song of this of this mascot, of this item, uh, 413 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: seemed to activate his Jim but in the end it 414 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,479 Speaker 1: was a jastic coincidence. But he thought like Oh, if 415 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: I eat them, I'll get all this power. Um. Of Note. 416 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: One of the song lyrics references that cookie cat is 417 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: a refugee of an interstellar war. Oh, yes, similar to 418 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: the gym's maybe Um, in the Stephen Universe Video Game 419 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: Jim bound, cookie cats restore Stephen's energy and they restore 420 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: harmony in the liked series of the gym. So, like 421 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: you eat them and you get like this energy like harmony, 422 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: which I love. All right. Yeah, and then, in a 423 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: promotion for New York Comic Con, the fantasy food truck 424 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: sold cookie cats, among other things. But cookie cats. That's 425 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: that's very cute. That's real good. Yes, you can still 426 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: find the menu online. Is Pretty Great. uh, but I 427 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: suppose we should talk about the competitor line liquor shrim 428 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: in it. Um. Stephen obviously not a fan playing. They 429 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: didn't look like lions. Uh. They are sort of like 430 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: ice cream popsicles. They're shaped lion ish. Remind me of 431 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: like those snoopy ice cream things I used to get 432 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: as a kid, but very totally like like a good 433 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: humor truck looking thing, right, exactly. Um, and they're yeah, 434 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: they're made with this yellow ice cream. However, upon melting, 435 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: they do take on a bit of a creepy a 436 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: bit of a creepy vibe. I must say. Yeah, and 437 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: I will say that there there is, Um, there is 438 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: a bit of a creepy vibe sprinkled throughout this series 439 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: like like like powdered sugar on a doughnut. Um. And Yeah, yeah, 440 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: the series really does does play with genre, Um, kind 441 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: of bouncing around from from comedy to horror to action 442 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: to everything else. Yeah, yeah, it's so much drama. Heck, yeah, 443 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: like punch you in the hard trauma. Oh my God, Um, 444 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: I know, we love it. It's great. Also, I'm pretty 445 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: sure the lion liquor mascot had his own kind of 446 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: sad story arc himself. So, you know, it's there's something 447 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: for everybody. There's also Colonel Colonel's classic creamed cord which 448 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: by name alone I had to include. Um. But yeah, 449 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: it's a can of creamed corn with this mascot Colonel Colonel, 450 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: saying in a speech bubble it's cream tastic. Yeah, I 451 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: mean that's great, right, all right, Oh, speaking of this one, 452 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, clams, peanut butter and a side of 453 00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: cut grass. Yeah, yeah, that's a dish. You heard it correctly. 454 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: This dish only appeared in one episode two, when an 455 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: unaligned character named Bluebird, as you're right, makes it to 456 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: impress Stephen, and Stephen, Being Stephen, eats it at Bluebird's request. Um. 457 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: As pointed out on the Fan Wiki, all of these 458 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: foods are known allergens, which, yeah, I didn't pick up 459 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: on either, but she's definitely trying to kill him. So attracts, 460 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: so attracts. Yeah, I love it, I love it, Um. 461 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: Then there's the dog nut, which is an item sold 462 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: at the big donut and it is a hot dog 463 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: that is placed through the holes of three frosted doughnuts 464 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: and then that is all topped with some mustard dognut. Yep, yeah, 465 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: that's something I can see in our real world for sure. 466 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: I am positive if someone has done this and done 467 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: it gloriously. Yep, uh. And then there are fire salts. Okay, 468 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: so fire salt is this mysterious magical seasoning. No one 469 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: seems to be too sure what's in it. Um. To 470 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: me it seems sort of like itching powder and that 471 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: it's used in these pranks in the episode, joking victim 472 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: or like maybe like hot peppery spice, like the equivalent 473 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: of putting that on someone's food unexpectedly or something they 474 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: don't know, because it causes this burning sensation. Like literally, 475 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: when one character ate an entire two of this Shimmery 476 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: red salt, he breathes fire and he had to stick 477 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: his head in a tub of ice cream to try 478 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: to cool himself down. Yeah, yeah, like you do. Um. Yeah, 479 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: and that's right. Like. So that's where, yeah, some of 480 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: the weird magic kind of stuff comes in. Um. Another 481 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: example of that is in the watermelon Stevens. Um. Okay, 482 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: so one of of Steven's gem based powers is that 483 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: his spit is like kind of magical. Um. So during 484 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:12,919 Speaker 1: this one episode he accidentally creates a patch of watermelons 485 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: and then an army of watermelons that are Stephen Shaped. 486 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: After he like spits a whole barrage of seeds around 487 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: and then leaves them overnight. Yes, he winds up eating one. Yeah, 488 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: and throughout the series a few other vegetables also become 489 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: sentient or semi sentient. MM HMM, obviously. Uh. And then 490 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: we have to talk about some fries. Oh goodness, we do, 491 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: because we have a couple of French fry dishes. Yeah, yeah, 492 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 1: as we mentioned earlier, a fry shop is one of 493 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: these small businesses in beach city. It is run by 494 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: the Freeman family, and one thing Stephen Orders. There are 495 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: these things called fry bits, which are presumably the smaller 496 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 1: leftover bits of fries. Um. They are usually free, but 497 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: we see even offering to purchase them. UH, Huh. Um. 498 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: It also turns out that Mr Freeman is in this 499 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: like long running feud or or uneasy piece with neighboring 500 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: restaurant fish stu pizza. In one episode that piece is broken. 501 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: The FRY shop offers pizza BITs, the pizza shop offers fries. Uh. 502 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,760 Speaker 1: Their their kids and Steven have to broker a renewed 503 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: treaty which which involves the creation of of a couple 504 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: of really stunning, stunningly beautiful dishes, Um, including the pizza 505 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: that's served on a Bagel, uh, which which allows you 506 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: to have pizza any time, dude, and also fantastic fries, 507 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: which are like sort of these fancy fries filled with ketchup. Yeah, 508 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,959 Speaker 1: so there you go. Oh, and speaking of Ketchup, there's 509 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: a brand on the show call hines H Y in 510 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: e S, which is named after the show's lead character, designer, 511 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: Danny hines. Yeah, and this character named Garbonzo, which is 512 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: fun fakes fakes his own death with hines in the 513 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: episode onion gang, obviously using it as like a blood yeah, yeah, yeah, 514 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: there's a there's at least a couple instances of using 515 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 1: ketchup as like a fake blood substitute. I know that 516 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: sadie Miller in her sadie killer face also uses some 517 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: ketchup blood effects. Yeah, yeah, Um, and then, I guess, 518 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: a low key. Speaking of Sadie, I wanted to talk 519 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: about the UBE roll cake because this is this is 520 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: one of the uh no pun intended, sweetest, sweetest food 521 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: moments on the show that I remember. Um, is when 522 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: one of the townspeople named Lars Um, who starts out 523 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: working in the in the doughnut shop, it turns out 524 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 1: that he loves baking. He's not just working there because 525 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: it's a it's a job. Um, like he bakes a 526 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: Pumpkin cake shaped like a Pumpkin, Um, and an UBE roll, 527 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: like a sponge cake made with UBE, which is a 528 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: sweet purple Yam spread with cream filling and then shaped 529 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 1: into a log like roll, like a like a U 530 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: A log. Yeah, Um. And and it really goes into 531 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: Lars's feelings about this recipe, which is a family recipe 532 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,879 Speaker 1: and about baking, because he's really self critical and he's 533 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: afraid that him liking baking will make him seem uncool. 534 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: And Uh, it's something that he really struggles with, even 535 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 1: though Stephen and and the aforementioned sadie, who's Lar's co worker, 536 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: both like really encourage him and say that he's great 537 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: at it, but he's, you know, he's kind of just 538 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,919 Speaker 1: still working through it. Yeah, you know, just like all 539 00:37:52,960 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: of us, just like all of us. Oh Yeah, well, 540 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: clearly we highly recommend it. I I really I really 541 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,919 Speaker 1: hope that that we described that, that that we gave 542 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: you enough to understand vaguely what we were talking about 543 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,720 Speaker 1: at all. Right, yeah, I mean it's one of those things. 544 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,959 Speaker 1: It's really once you watch it, I don't think there's 545 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: no difficulty picking it up. Oh No, oh no, no, no, 546 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: it's not describing it. Yeah, it's not like a challenging 547 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: no show to watch. Um, it's very light and fluffy, 548 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: but except for all those gut punches were talking about, 549 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: but generally the overall vibe is like Oh yeah, yeah, 550 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: so we recommend it. And there I mean we, like 551 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: we said, we limited ourselves. So if there's anything. We 552 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: didn't talk about that. You want us and talk about that? 553 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 1: US know if you have any recipes, if you've done 554 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: any parties and made these recipes.

But there's no way we could 582 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: have done it.

But I digress. Anyways, I've included pictures 620 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: of some favorite arepas and now I have to go 621 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: make some for lunch.

I'm from 632 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: the US, but I'm currently a Master's student in Germany, 633 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: so when I heard your non alcoholic beer episode from 634 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, I wanted to chime in. 635 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 1: Non Alcoholic or alcohol free beer is pretty popular in Germany, 636 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: to the point where they were the main sponsor of 637 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 1: the triathlon I participated in this summer. Good for you. 638 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,479 Speaker 1: Beer brands are also pretty regional here. When I lived 639 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,280 Speaker 1: in Hamburg, Astra Astra is one of the big local 640 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: brands and they're known for their crazy ad campaigns. I 641 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 1: thought this particular billboard I saw was worth sharing. It's 642 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: for a Non Alcoholic Beer with pomegranate juice and caffeine, 643 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: for when you want an energy drink but also want 644 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,319 Speaker 1: the taste of beer. The article that pictures from says 645 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: that the drink has guarana in it, which is supposedly 646 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 1: an Afro dz. They say in parentheses. I can only 647 00:44:55,640 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: hear that word in Lauren's voice now, usually usually Annie, 648 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 1: but but both of us. Yes, yes, so the man 649 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: stripping and the photo is supposed to be an afrod dieter. 650 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, they have plenty of other strange 651 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 1: ad campaigns if you want to check them out.
